masto meta
kinda sad to hear such resistance to the idea of using CWs liberally and considerately.
I hope our fedi communities continue to encourage ourselves to have a different culture from Big Corporate Social Media, where we actually act like communities of people who take care of each other as human beings, rather than resources to vomit your opinions at for fame.
The migration from Twitter to Mastodon is a blueprint for what I hope to see in regards to parallel institutions.
Namely, capitalist structures & billionaire overlords over-colonize so much that they cannibalize themselves & the things they own, compelling people to look for alternatives.
But alternatives like this were here, ready to catch people as they happens.
Same can be true for mutual aid systems, tool libraries, community distribution networks etc, as dominant systems further crumble.
Forgive the overdue #introduction, but howdy! I'm Dominic Armato, and two things are kind of my jam.
The first is that I've done #voiceover since I was a kid, and I'm the voice of Guybrush Threepwood in the #MonkeyIsland games.
The second is that I'm way more into #food and #restaurants than anybody probably should be, and I was the dining critic for The Arizona Republic for five years. (Woo #journalism)
I balied on FB, I want to bail on Twitter, and I'm hoping this is where I belong. TBD.
mutual aid
Yeah, so, folks who've been following me a while know I've been dealing with some major medical shit?
Well things went to hell in extended family and now I'm taking care of 2 extra kids while dealing with major medical shit.
Also, no fucking sleep last night.
If anyone is able help out, $50-100 could make a huge difference in getting these kids what they need and still paying the bills this month.

Hey! I've received a steady uptick the last day, probably following the migration.
Most of you probably know me from twitter, then, but in case not:
Hi, i'm Ellen. I design NES displayable graphics and games, and a tool to make them in.
These here are stage embryos for a particular game, codnamed "borscht" until inspiration strikes me with something better.
New to Mastodon? A few tricks:
1) Do not eat any food offered to you. Should a single grape or morsel pass your lips, you may find the path behind you has vanished and around your throat, a collar of servitude, to be worked off over thousands of years in the Dream Mines.
2) Do not give your true name. A name has power. Only use your true name in a DM to me, the only one who can cast the wards required to protect you in this realm. Be sure to attach a lock of your hair, electronically.
Finally remembering to tell people about the gamemaking.tools forum.
https://www.gamemaking.tools/forum/
The primary focus is a bit different to last time: I'd like to provide a space for tool makers to have somewhere to get feedback other than github or discord or having to host their own.
🯁🯂🯃 So if you're making something that makes games, or material for games, and you want a dedicated board on there, send me a DM
Hopefully other game making chatter will happen too
#FediTips: It’s ok to be confused and overwhelmed while you’re getting used to things. Don’t be afraid to step away from the screen. Go outside in the dead of night with only the tired and icy light of distant stars for company. Walk into the heart of an ancient swamp, where the gnarled trees whisper their forgotten secrets. Listen to the ethereal chorus of a million tiny creatures, and the blissful complexity of their countless songs. Find calm as you feel the planet spinning beneath you.
hey everyone, started a new small thing, let's see where this goes!
